This is a selection of John Geery’s artwork that is currently available at The Art Place.
John David Geery became interested in photography while studying journalism at University of Utah in Salt Lake City. He bought a camera to illustrate the articles he was writing for the school newspaper.
After school, John perfected his color printing techniques while working in a professional color lab in Utah. After a year in the lab, he moved to Idaho and worked for a company as staff photographer. He shot advertising and catalog photographs for three years. In 1981 he started his fine art business, with a collection of western scenes including the Grand Tetons and southern Utah.
Originally an easterner, John returned to New England in 1984, after nine years of living in the west. He was initially concerned the east wouldn’t be as photographically inspiring as the grandiose west. While totally different, the great diversity of seasons and intimacy of the eastern landscape quickly won him over.
